    Fault code

    First time here, name is Steven. Just bought a 2006 330i from the dealership I work at and have a couple questions.. First there is a yellow "brake" and yellow triangle with an exclamation point that pop up from time to time and was wondering what it could be. There is also a red fan and what looks like a red muffler with dots all in it in the check control feature. Was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction of what it could be. I have pictures but can't figure out how to post them.. thank you again.

    You need to cheek for faults, the icon that is on sounds like the microfilter service or emissions check. Is your dealer a bmw dealer? For philh I would try a different shop with better knowledge of BMW's, read the car with autologic or Ista. And when a warning sign comes on check your owners manual to see what it might say

    We are a Chrysler dealer but I got the car for a steal. Also developed a fun code once where it didn't shift and a red gear light came on the dash. Once I restarted the car it was fine. Downshifts hard into first in D mode but is fine in DS (can only assume it stays in second.). Going to have to take it to a BMW dealership 40 miles away to look at it..
